A 40-pin single-row straight male header strip with standard 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch. Snap or cut the strip to any length you need — ideal for soldering onto PCBs, breakout boards, and prototyping projects.
Key Features
- 40 Pins – Single row, snap apart to any length
- 0.1" (2.54mm) Pitch – Standard spacing compatible with breadboards, perfboard, and most PCB footprints
- Straight Orientation – Pins extend perpendicular to the PCB
- Through-Hole Solder – Standard male pin headers for soldering into PCB holes
Ideal For
- Adding connectors to breakout boards and modules
- Breadboard-compatible headers for prototyping
- Custom PCB assembly
- Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and microcontroller projects
Package Contents
- 1× 40-pin straight male header strip
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- Headers
- Rows of connector contacts on a fixed pitch (commonly 2.54 mm) used to link a board to a breadboard, jumper wires, or another board. They come as male pin headers and female socket headers; when a module ships with pre-soldered headers it can be used straight away, whereas bare pads require soldering the pins yourself.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
